yes it is- - it's going to be just fine for sure. - -Wonder what Pac 12 has to say about that now.

My worry is that the Big 12 is losing two of their largest enrollment schools. The other issue is that the schools that they are adding may have lots of students, but may not have as large of alumni engagement.

Houston, for example, has nearly 40,000 students enrolled, but my guess is that if you polled students at Houston, they would be fans of other, larger schools like Texas A&M, Texas, or LSU. Their degree may say Houston, but their allegiance is to another school, particularly once they graduate. TCU (Texas, A&M) has a similar problem, as does Cincinnati (Ohio State, Louisville, Kentucky), and UCF (Florida, Florida State).

Perhaps the move to a P5 will help shift allegiances going forward, but a lot of older alums may have graduated from one, but are "fans" of another school.

BYU is the outlier here because they are the Mormon equivalent to Notre Dame. The downside is that, unlike Catholics, which are spread pretty widely across the country, Mormon populations are very heavily concentrated, so interest in BYU will be heavily in Utah, but sparse in a lot of other places.

Will Big 12 ratings be high for a title game between Baylor and K-State (random pairing) in 2025? Or will that game flop because both teams come in with two losses already?

For one I don't think Houston is going to be that bad -- for sure your not going to have those fans pulling for other Texas schools in Basketball - -they have had huge fan base for some time in that especially with them # 1 now - -the longer that program stay number one the more interest in locals they gonna get - - only natural. - -I think we going to be just fine.

Solid football programs and rally good basketball. -True might be a little less in football but solid football in basketball upgrade over Texas and Oklahoma- true Texas a little better but overall Cincinnati - -Houston & BYU no less then oklahoma for sure and Houstin doesn't take a back seat to Texas this year or any year

Texas/ Illini is a hell of a game. Elite 8 or FF caliber game. Terrance Shannon and Matthew Mayer both look good.

I'll say this , yes Texas lost, but man they legit. Quickness, tough defense. Their two guards Hunter & - -dam can't remember his name - -pretty good tandem. we are gonna have are hands full

Oh Famer , - - - Farmer - - Farmer - - do you smell what I smell - -are you thinking what I'm thinking ? - - maybe - - just MAYBE w have flipped the big fella ? - - that would be sweet

Kind of interesting to see McBride & Potter go- -really surprised McBride leaving thought he had a good chance for some quality time. - -Kevin not so much , I dunno maybe me but I though he did ok, a lot of people riding him pretty hard. - -Hope he does well wherever he lands

Ya missing ball pretty bad. - I have been surfing just to be able to see game overall , hell there isn't nothing at all on period. I'm sure their arena will be pretty stoked, it will be interesting to see how the guys react.

I feel sorry for Grady Saturday because of that dm Antler section although I guess they has to tone it down a few years back - -but I'm sure Grady will be hearing plenty for Name Reference- -Then it will be pretty cool when Grady will be able to respond back to those idiots after Grady lights them up for 20 or 20 plus - and he simply looks at them and smiles and simply says - - - it's - -MR DICK to you roflmao

Read where North Carolina's drop from the top 25 after being ranked pre season # 1 was the 2nd fastest since UCLA in I believe it said 1961-62 - -they are BAD- - I mean REALLY BAD

@jayballer67 big, big OT from lovely Lawrence, Kansas

well that's good IF we can get him to flip. - -Would be nice to start getting a few more in state kids. I know for sure that Coach L has that as a priority but yet will not sacrifice the status of the team just so we have in state kids- -quality wise/ talent wise. If he is a nice quality player, love to have him - -we for sure can always use size - -let's hope we can pull it off cause from what I've read and heard pretty dang good player

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

Sooooo there’s some chatter around flipping Calvin Clements

ya I've been seeing that my friend-- -your gonna have to refresh my memory though, Good player ? - -Position ? - -where is he from ? -- I have seen some but not aware of position

Here is a news flash. - -I DON'T THINK K/State is ready for the likes of Alabama, K/State might be good BUT they are NOT Alabama good.

I think if nothing else this is going to be a wake up call and let them know your not there YET

@jayballer67 absolutely. I think we made a strong impression on a corner and a tackle.

Tackle will commit

Got heeeeem. Also thankful there are no unexpected transfers so far. Just the guys we already knew about: McBride, Potter, White, etc

Farmer with what we got coming into our RB stable , do you look posssibly -myself I think quite possibly , but do you think Thomas hits the portal again? - just didn't see the field alot. - -Also with the talent of the two we got coming in just think he might get buried. Things I've heard about RED might be pushing for the # 2- -then you got Morrison - - Then Thompson and Thomas battling. I just think Thomas might be on his way out - what's you projection for him ? - -Stay or Go ?

@DanR said in Rice?:

I don't understand the pronunciation rights thing. Is it about the river or the state pronunciations?

Yor ask people in Arkansas - -that's what it is. BUT if you ask people around Wichita and that it is pronounced - -Ark - - KANSAS - -- - i think around Wichita it's all about the river

that would be great -get that DL depth - - - tougher

@BShark said in Other games:

Missouri looks like a decent rec league team. Gave up 89 against SEMO (they did win tho). They could not defend members of this board (slight exaggeration).

I'd light em up lol

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other games:

@jayballer67 I honestly thought that was smoke and mirrors. They flat sucked for most of last season until they got scalding hot late. Then lost their best player in Manek and replaced him with a total stiff. The pieces don’t really fit and Hubert isn’t a great X’s and O’s Coach.

ya probably so. I thought that ya over rated but THAT BAD lol - -they seems like have struggled in EVERY game this season

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other games:

Good lord UNC is bad. Now lost 4 in a row.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Other games:

Agree. My question is - - how do you go from being # 1 or preseason # 1 to what they running on the floor now ?

@BShark said in 2023 croots:

@FarmerJayhawk Was thinking Kema could be a likely one from what Swain was posting.

Isn't that the kid from Hawaii ? - - speaking of Hawaii , see where we scheduled a home and home with then in 2028 & 2032

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

Also, Malik Berry is one to watch for a PWO opportunity. Former Free State QB, now a DE/OLB at Butler. Think he’s immediate depth at special teams and maybe can get on the field as a situational pass rusher.

Isn't he one we offered an PWO on earlier , but he looked a round a bit more ?

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

@jayballer67 absolutely. I think we made a strong impression on a corner and a tackle.

that's sounds really good to me buddy. I think we can use all the DL line we can get, we need to shore up the run defense - which I do see some progress , just think we need more. - let the good news keep coming.

Little side note our QB Weisman coming in - -just looks like he is really invested trying to recruit for us too lol - - always like that -

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

@BShark I believe they’ll land one more HS kid, yes. May take a day or so to come out

I think we add a couple of Juco's yet for 23 too

With , this commit & Red Martel backfield in good shape. - - It is good add because I think Thomas portal out

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

RB Johnny Thompson is on board. He’s not the only one either 😎

from what I read he was one of the top running backs in California - is that the one your taking about ? - -If so he was visiting this weekend , he commit while he is here ?

@FarmerJayhawk said in Rice?:

We’re going to Memphis. Announcement incoming

yup posted on other thread it's all set

The Value of these extra practices are limitless

KU has made that bowl game. - - December 28th against Arkansas 4:30 p.m on ESPN

Well guys we have come this far might as well win the dam thing lol. - - ROCK CHALK GUYS - - Congrads Hawks - - GO HAWKS

Santee Claus came early for K/Sttraight - Happy Fricken TCU Christmas. - -I could not believe you have truly a foot to go for the TD in over time two downs to drive it in and your staff makes those calls.

Like Herbstreet was saying why would you hand off to a back that's 5 yards deep -when all you to do is run Duggan they were not going to keep him out. -You hand off like that , you take the chance of a fumble - a TFL - just keep the dam ball and go.

I also believe that if TCU had scored that TD in overtime - - it's ove. - -I truly feel that if TCU would of scored there is no way K/State finds the end zone in overtime - -I just don't

Rutgers just beat the crap out of Indiana in Basketball today - -63 - -48 - had to do a double take on that one

lmao - - - I like that - - ROCK CHALK

My Nephew told me about this earler , thought it was crazy then - -then I come home get on my phone and story comes up : These guys are just CHUMPS , mercy. I guess earlier when Texas announced they was headed to the SEC - Some offensive Lineman -think his name was Cook, mentioned making fun of Texas saying that if they could handle a HORNS DOWN then they probably could handle the SEC.

Sooo Texas responded after seeing Mizzery refusal - -Texas talking about how vastly improved KU was -then took their shot at Mizzery - -If your afraid to ply a bowl team -- them your probably not for the SEC lmao The article said this was KU Football Not Basketball - -talking about how not a good look for Mizzery lol

All I have to thse Chumps is: - -- -DON'T GET SCARED NOW - -Sissy boys , they just afraid of getting S - - - - - - - stomped and then hearing about afterward - - -should be just adding more to the fire next Saturdat

@BShark said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

I picked a good game to go to for the first time in awhile. Went through the thread this morning, good stuff.

If Udeh can just consistently screen and learn the defense he can really help us this year. That might be a lot to ask but he is physically imposing.

You know if he could get free for 3-4 lobs a game , would be ok for now. - - Giving us 8 a game , let him feed off lobs this season , get him to work on some kind of shot during his of off season

We could live with that for this season - -play some solid defense - -watch him develop

KU had 15 stels - - shot 41.7 from the three - -out rebounded them 37 -25 - - pretty decent game - -EXCEPT the AND ONE'S

Hold onto your butts my KU friends here is something that will rock your world - - - KU shoot 81.5 % from the free throw line tonight - - - say Whaaaaaaaa lol

@FarmerJayhawk said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

What is this chant lol

prety effortless effort with the ROCK CHALK

@DanR said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

Lordy, the chant sucks

ya what the hell has happened to that anyway

@BeddieKU23 said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

Impressive win

I didn't see this big of spread tonight buddy - -pretty nice win

Kevin with 17 points and 10 rebounds and 3-4 from the 3 pt line tonight- - say pretty decent game

I did not see a 30 point win coming tonight

ONE more time - - how many dam times are we gonna have a and one or possible and one from breaking down - - DAM

@Zabudda said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

Gradey looking good all over the court. Having fun.

see how quick he went from 2 points to 13 points?

Self , can NOT be happy with the way guys are getting lost - -defense breaking down repeatedly- -Joe looks like he might be settling in a bit, with Bobby being out , last couple of games seems like he playing some bettre

If Kevin starts hitting that shot ( The 3 ) on a constant basis like he has the last couple of times - - - gonna be huge

Anybody else noticed how fast MJ got lost and beat on defense ?

Nice to see us winning a game without chucking up 100 threes.

Not even sure how many we HAVE shot. - -Not many

4/11

ya bettter then 20 plus huh - - seem to be working the lane/inside fairly decently

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

KJ gets the most elevation of anyone I've ever seen attempting a hook shot

Wish KJ was just a couple of inches taller. Our problem at the 5 would be solved. Pretty mobile - -scores some pretty decent defensively and HUSTLES

Hey , we found a team that shoot free throw's worse then us lol

@BeddieKU23 said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

Jalen only had 9. I know who's shooting coming out the half

And those 9 came early, then just kinda stopped. Not sure why

@wissox said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:

If you make a shot from the Jayhawk does that count as points in the paint?

LOL- - -that's a good one

How many DAM AND ONES' are we gonna give these guys
